Onions and the flu

Onions and the flu

• m2googee 14 years ago
  I received this from Henrie and she thinks it has helped her so I thought I would post it here.
  
  
  
  
  A friend of mine told me a story about how when he was a kid he was in
  The hospital & near dying. His Italian grandmother came to the hospital
  & told a family member to go buy her a large onion & a new pair of white
  Cotton socks. She sliced the onion open then put a slice on the bottom
  Of each of his feet & put the white cotton socks on him. In the morning
  When he awoke they removed the socks. The slices of onion were black &
  His fever was gone. The following story that someone sent to me might
  Have some truth in it & we are going to try this this winter. In 1919
  When the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited
  The many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of
  The farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.
  
  The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was
  Very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was
  Different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a
  Dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then).
  
  The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the
  Onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he
  Did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion.. It obviously
  Absorbed the bacteria,therefore, keeping the family healthy.
  Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said
  That several years ago many of her employees were coming down
  With the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year
  She placed several bowls with onions around in her shop.
  To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work...
  (And no, she is not in the onion business.)
  
  The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls
  Around your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your
  Office or under your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see
  What happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.If this
  Helps you and your loved ones from getting sick all the better. If you
  Do get the flu, it just might be a mild case..
  
  
  Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions! Now
  There is a P. S. To this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who
  Regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with
  This most interesting experience about onions:
  
  Weldon,thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmers
  Story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia and needless to say I
  Was very ill...I came across an article that said to cut both ends off
  An onion put one end on fork and then place the forked end into an
  Empty jar...placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said
  The onion would be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it
  Happened just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel
  Better.
  
  Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed
  Around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have
  Powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.
